Registered: Oct 2010 Posts: 33316 - Threads: 426 Location: london So assuming we end up with a hard brexit or whatever what can we potentially gain or recover? I'm thinking specifically in a cultural sense, things that the EU has "stopped" us from doing... what cultural joys will we be able to endulge in now that we have been starved of since 1976?

I'm jsut trying to turn it on it's head a bit because as I'm sure you've noticed I'm pro EU and for me there is a lot more to brexit than immigrants taxes, I know there have been numerous outraged headlines about what the EU has banned or whatever (wonky cucumbers for example) and wondered if there is going to be an influx of outlawed pleasures flooding in to cheer me up.

In fact, fruit and veg in general was supposed to be regulated iro size/appearance until they finally saw sense and realised there was a fuckton of the stuff going to waste.

Ridiculous rule on… Tea bags While pushing for a Brexit, MP Johnson said in his Telegraph column that barmy EU rules mean that “you can’t recycle a tea bag”. Under EU law, local authorities are allowed to ban the composting of teabags if there are fears over the spread of disease. For example, Cardiff Council told household not to throw away tea bags in an attempt to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease in 2005.

My head hurts now. Water/dehydration. Also - clearly their journalists don't do the grocery shopping if they think eggs aren't sold by the dozen. "Do you believe in the devil?
